What We Can Learn From Katie Holmes About Divorce

Posted By Cairns Law Offices || 5-Nov-2013

Divorce can get a bad stigma. Many people fall into the misconception that if they do end their marriage there will be no way to be on cordial terms. They also wonder how they will be able to parent their child with their former spouse. In fact, many people find that they are able to move past this broken relationship and begin to repair, and even improve their overall life. They may offer their children a situation that is healthier to them and while they are not living under the same roof as their former spouse, they are also not constantly fighting, unhappy or seeming like their thoughts are elsewhere.

Wondering how you can get through your divorce and come out better on the other side? Just look at Katie Holmes. She dealt with a marriage that gained more media attention than most other Hollywood relationships. When that marriage ended, paparazzi went to extreme lengths just to snap a picture of her or her child. While there was a lot against her, she rose to the challenge and gracefully ended her marriage. What did she do? For starters she had a close group that she could trust. She was able to turn to them and rely on them not to turn around to the media and sell her story.

She kept her cool and didn't let anyone catch her breaking down. She gave herself time, rather than rushing into the next relationship which could be a disastrous move. Having a daughter in the midst of this had a lot of potential to be disastrous but Katie protected her daughter as much as possible. She gave herself time but she also began getting back her life. She did things that interested her and started living again. Going through a divorce doesn't have to be bad. For many, they find that it actually allows them to find themselves and to start living the life that they want. They may also be able to shelter their children from having to deal with the weight of the divorce and in the end they can offer their kids a situation that is better in the long run.
